A runner attempting to set a world record by completing 50 marathons in 50 U.S. states within 24 days has brought the challenge to New England, according to a report published Thursday.
The attempt, which involves running a full marathon distance of 26.2 miles in each state over a span of just over three weeks, represents an extreme test of endurance and logistics. The runner's progress through the New England region marks a significant milestone in the cross-country effort.
Details about the runner's identity, specific schedule, or current progress were not disclosed in the initial report by Frank O'Laughlin.
